12 design wins for Continuous Computing's DPI tech from network equipment providers

Continuous Computing has announced that it has secured 12 Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) design wins with network equipment providers and estimates that its DPI technology is being used in more than 10 Tier One mobile operator networks globally.

"The economics of today's mobile broadband business model has the potential to cripple wireless operators. Due to flat-rate data plans, wireless usage is increasing significantly faster than revenues, leaving carriers struggling to balance profitability with required network capacity expansion," said Manish Singh, Continuous Computing's vice president of product line management. "In an environment where wireless traffic is doubling every nine months and network capacity is inherently limited by spectrum, the anticipated gains from WiMAX and Long Term Evolution (LTE) will not be enough to resolve the bandwidth challenges on their own. As such, mobile operators are using DPI traffic management to make their existing bandwidth pipes work smarter and ensure sufficient quality of service for all subscribers."

DPI technology enables operators to analyze congestion in their mobile networks and employ traffic prioritization and internet offload for sensitive applications such as voice and streaming media.

DPI technology manages growing mobile broadband usage and provides increased network security.

DPI also allows carriers to detect and isolate the growing number of viruses introduced either unwittingly or by design via wirelessly connected netbooks and laptops, also supporting legal requirements for lawful intercept.
